Behcet's Disease Support Group

Behcet's disease (also known as Adamantiades-Behcet's disease), is a chronic condition due to disturbances in the body's immune system. This system, which normally protects the body against infections by producing controlled inflammation, becomes overactive and produces unpredictable outbreaks of exaggerated inflammation. This extra inflammation affects blood vessels.

Find the a post read below for Blessed

Hey everyone...their is a post under a long list of many in HipMommys topic from Blessed (I do not have the entire name). It never really was read.

I really think this is a post we all should read, it is so IMPORTANT, I feel so bad as I missed it. This is Behcets as I know it and want to say sorry for missing it...my memory is to poor to get the entire name!

I welcome everyone that is new and sometimes posts do get lost or not seen and everyone here is special. Plus. we each have something wonderful to share with each other

MY goal is to find a cure for Behcets and with a group that can help raise awareness in the medical community. I think we could all get together and share and come up with enough ideas to make Behcets known to those who are in each of our communitoes to promote the larger groups to do studys for a cure. It only takes one sometimes..
Check out the Vasculitis Foundation, NIH or NIAMS or NORD? These all have information on Behcets and can support us. Of course support NYU Behcets Center it is the only one in the USA.

I was so happy to see Joanne Z share her info! Check out her web-site too, she is wonderful.
It is terrific. Her book is really worth reading for those who enjoy reading and learning!

Sending each of you the best! I am going to try start more new posts so the other ones do not get lost.Remember we each have a spcial case and no matter how mild or severe this disease is we all need a cure. I do not want my family or friends to get this one day. Coming up this week I have surgery so I will be out for awhile. Bummer....
Hugs to everyone From ARIZONA!
